  • History and Progress Report NOAA Climate & Global Change
    History and Progress Report NOAA Climate & Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Introduction The NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Program appointed its first class of fellows in 1991. The program was envisioned and sponsored by the NOAA Office of Global Programs, Director, J. Michael Hall. The primary objective of the program remains to help create the next generation of researchers needed for climate studies. During the first year of the program, the steering committee was charged to make appointments to scientists who would study in two particular areas: Climate Modeling and Model Diagnostics and Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere. In 1992, with more refined objectives for the program, the steering committee made appointments to those scientists interested in supporting research on mechanisms of climate variations on time scales of seasons to centuries. The overall goal is to provide predictions and assessments of global climate change on seasonal to centennial time scales. In 2004, Chester J. Koblinsky, was named director of NOAA OGP. OGP current name is Climate Program Office (CPO). Several program managers from CPO have acted as liaison with the UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs in administering the program. Those managers have included Kenneth Mooney, Michael Patterson, Lisa Dilling, and Jim Todd. In 2011, Rick Rosen (acting CPO director after Koblinsky’s retirement) supported the program until 2013 when Wayne Higgins was named director of NOAA OGP. Jim Todd has continued as the NOAA CPO program liaison to UCAR. In 2016, the UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs was merged with the Joint Office of Science Support to become the new program: Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science.

But given the widening of globalized markets and the confluence of leapfrog technologies—including access to mobile telecommu- nications and niche manufacturing operations—enormous opportunities now exist to eradicate the root causes of global poverty. It is clear that traditional top-down models of international development are limited: material aid leads to dependence; well-meaning policies become mired by Training the next political instability. In addition to market forces and access to technology, it will take human capital generation of engineers to build human capacity. That is why we take our responsibility to train the next generation of engineers very seriously. Recognizing trends in the global landscape, the U.S. Agency for International to tackle the root causes Development (USAID)—the country’s largest international aid agency—recently signaled a change in tactics. With a collaborative, fast-moving posture (more Silicon of global poverty Valley than Inside-the-Beltway), USAID administrators have made a commitment to ending extreme forms of poverty by 2030. With USAID’s support, we opened the Development Impact Lab (DIL) on campus in 2012 to design, execute and scale poverty-alleviating systems and technologies. The grant is managed by the Blum Center for Developing Economies and the Center for Effective Global Action in Economics, and includes many engineering faculty who have answered the call for socially responsible development engineering.
